Will Gran Turismo 5 have online beta testing?

[gtone339]

I'm just wondering if we could at least try out the online functionality of GT5 as a beta.

Is this a good idea or not? Tell me your thoughts.

It is a great idea, however beta is on for almost 3 years.

It is called "Gran Turismo 5: Prologue".

 

[gtone339]

^ Yeah I know, I already have that game anyway. Didn't like the online because of 'lag'.

Nevermind then. I'll just wait for 5 months for it.

 

[sems4arsenal]

we will probably get one but it won't be for another month or two

The lag might be on your end, I experienced zero lag.

Jeez, can you imagine the download size?

It would be better to change the thread title... It nearly gave me an heart attack...
I thought it was real.
The answer to your question is too simple. My hope (just that) : PSN Plus to give us some unexpected gift....

I thought about that. It would be a huge bonus... and very feasible, if you think about it.

PD don't read this thread please
I am sure that PD will not make a BETA ,its a stupid idea for me

I think you can't wait for the realase XD

I agree but Yamauchi said 'no demo'. I hope it was just to give us a surprise.
I promise, I would forgive him for such a beautiful lie.

There will be a closed BETA, but I really can't see an open BETA being released.

Will be way too different to the GT5 master code to call Prologue a Beta.

I initially thought as you did.
Then I came to the assumption that Amar212 was thinking of the Online part of the game (title thread).
In this sense we can think of Prologue as a beta version.
Of course GT5 is going to be a hugely richer game; I am sure he knows it better than us.

Me too

Will buy PSn + just in the hope of an exclusive GT5 demo

Is this title necessary?, at least add a question mark.

I don't think he was being entirely serious.

 

[Sureboss]

Damn, I hadn't accounted for sarcasm.

 

[RoadRunner99]

Damn, I hadn't accounted for sarcasm.

I personally think he was serious, but, again, he just considered the online part of GT5p .

 

[CoolColJ]

Maybe only if you have PSN Premium...

They already had enough beta tests with the GT Academy and multiple demo showings and conventions etc. We don't need any more.

Do you have a source? I am interested in seeing more about this....

 

[retrostate]

I expect it will be in house games testers. they don't pay them for nothing you know! So called public betas really don't do a lot for a game. It just gives people a chance to play a game that has been hyped and then disappoints them so much they do not want to buy the product when it is released. I could see a fair few doing that on this forum to say the least!

Last year Naughty Dog/Sony released a public beta of Uncharted 2 to test the online functionality. The beta was very good, except for people erratically going off or on the playing field at the same time.

So if sony/p.d decides its a good idea well we'll just give them feedbacks about it.
